dola, and I think it's live as in the rules/instructions, they mention that if someone is ahead with a few holes to play, he might want to go with a safer tactic...

I suppose I should read the rules/instructions one of these days.
Update: pars on 6 and 7, still +1 |

Next week, I'm working on my short irons, I've been in the fairway on every par 5 inside 100 yards and have missed all 3 greens. That's terrible

From the bit i've read it tells you conceptually, but has no instructions about the interface. It's pretty frustrating.

Fixed my country, and was +5 through 15. I hope with a week of practice, I can get through the US Q-school ok.

+6 through 17. I was hoping to have a so-so round, and hopefully make the cut after tomorrow's round, but I don't see that happening anytime soon now.

I think there's gonna be a huge grouping at +6 by the end of the day. If I can par 18, I'll be in that group
EDIT: Darn it, couldn't get up and down from the bunker. Shot 79 for the day, yuck Last edited by TurnerONU22 : 06-08-2006 at 10:53 AM. |

leaderboard at The Houstonian as of 12:40pm eastern
top 70 with ties make the cut, looks like we have a bunch of FOFCers just one shot off right now... looking back at the Volvo Masters that I entered last week, the cut happened at only +4... FM

probably much of the same, since you will not have trained much in between the two rounds. As I said, I played two +7 rounds last week and I'm very interested to see if there will be any improvement this week, after training all week, or at least, as much as the the 3 times/6 days rule of thumb allowed me...

The EasyPar.org site says you can register for the European tour there. Is it a different site to register for the US tour?

This game reminds me of something you'd play on a tabletop, except it's got this neat interface to allow you to upgrade your character. I think that's great, and I'm surprised that there aren't more games like this (for things like bowling, auto racing, tennis, etc.). Hell, I think it would be neat to have a similar setup for team sports like basketball and volleyball. Each character is a player, and they join up with a team. Then the skills of the teams would help determine the outcome of the game.
I'm just musing here since my first EasyPar tournament isn't until next week.

I'm playing today as well. HoldenCaul ingame.
Started well, even par through 3 and then the wheels came off the wagon. In the drink on 4, bogied 5 all on my own, then into the water not once but twice on 6 for a triple bogie, and missed a putt on 7 to keep the streak of bogies alive. +7 after 8, good for second to last with 10 more holes to bogie.

not to make fun of a fellow canadian, but bbor was having a decent round as I kept seeing him above me on the leaderboard, then boom, can't find him above, he's now under me. From even to +5 in three holes, capped by this spectacular 7th hole, a par 4:

I guess no birdies is standard for players at our level.

I think everyone from here that's in this weeks tournament is at +7, so we all have a little work to do if we want to make the cut.

I went "what the heck" this morning and set my tactic to aggressive and so far it's paid off, -1 after 2 on the day, +6 and in 57th on the tournament...
Also some bit of news from the website: Quote:

okay, got myself back to even par on the day with a birdie on the 4th and pars on the 5th and 6th. Now +7 on the tourney. The cut should happen at about +12, based on the +6 or the first round, so I still have a shot. Now that I've said this, watch me bomb...
me and bbor are yoyoing, him being ahead of me at once, then me leading him, he's now at +8 on the tourney. FM

I had a dreadful start, was +6 after like 4 holes.. Then I changed tactics and scored a par on just about every following hole.. (except one of course).
Waiting for the second round now..
